I do not condone physical violence but I do wonder why Hillary hasn't hauled off and punched

Trump in the face for his taunting remarks...while he breathes down her back at the debate. It's a wonder she didn't hear him hulking behind her and just swung around and whammy.

It's also a wonder that Bill hasn't taken a swing at Donald, too.

My campaign thought for the day as I sit here and steam...

Her concern was reaching out to the audience. When you truly focused on a task, you can shut out all that is happening around you.
I know when I have impending deadlines, I become intensely focused and tune out everything around me.

9. I was a trial attorney for years; I was so focused I noticed nothing else going on in the room.

My client had to tell me if something interesting went on behind me, because I sure didn't see it. I got attacked once during argument and didn't see the person coming until she was right on top of me (not hurt, her attorney grabbed her in time).

Draco Malfoy ever dreamed of being! One of my favorite passages in both book and movie. (Really funny story about actress Emma Watson actually accidentally punching Tom Felton during filming rehearsals. Ouch!)

12. I'm sorry but the next debate she needs to fire off a few snarky remarks...

not this "it's awfully good trashpot isn't in charge of the laws....whatever"...she needs to hit him with a couple of humorous sarcastic remarks with teeth.

She has great self-control and class and she isn't afraid of him. He tried to bully her and it didn't work because she knew what he was up to. She still went into "his" territory and while he tried to play the big strong man to intimidate her, she totally ignored him. It's just an act of him that doesn't work against Clinton.

15. She doesn't need to. He's hanging himself.

She only needs to sit back and watch him implode. THAT makes Donald more crazy in the long run - to simply dismiss his games and let him act like the fool he is.
